Use these topics to learn about using the default messaging provider to support the use of the Java Message Service (JMS) by enterprise applications deployed on WebSphere® Application Server.
The default messaging provider is installed and runs as part of WebSphere Application Server.
The default messaging provider supports JMS 1.1 domain-independent interfaces (sometimes referred to as "unified" or "common" interfaces). This enables applications to use the same common interfaces for both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging. This also enables both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging within the same transaction. With JMS 1.1, this approach is recommended for new applications. The domain-specific interfaces are supported for backwards compatibility as described in section 1.5 of the JMS 1.1 specification.
